  7. Hi Amit,

    I need your help with Einstein Bot and Post Chat feedback form.

    The requirement is -

    Einstein Bot -
    * After 3 minutes if the visitor is still stuck with the chat bot and he is not getting a satisfactory answer, the chat redirects to the customer agent.

    Post Chat form -

    *As soon as we end chat there should be a button called Give Feedback.
    *As soon as we click on Give Feedback button, there should be a rating mechanism like stars and then a text area to provide the message.
    *Then a button called send feedback to send the feedback.
    *Then visitor can close the chat.

  8. I am a fan of informative content, especially when it's this good. Your views are interesting and I really like that. Thank you for making your article clear and easy to understand. That's nice change.Even organizations have commenced using chatroom to connect with their customers, through live chat, other workplaces, and potential customers are turning the sales up. Most of the on-line chatting rooms offer anonymous chat that can provide you with the potential to speak openly about things that you would not usually share with others.
